Well, the weather outside is frightful!  The galloping of the electric lines is the grinch behind the power outage we are experiencing. When the lines hit each other, it can result in a fault or short circuit that interrupts service.

As your electrical provider, we want to keep you up-to-date on outages that you may be experiencing! And as always:

Our crews have been called in for the evening due to unsafe working conditions from the blizzard. They will resume outage restoration at daylight, as weather and road conditions allow.
Note: If you are using a generator, do not use it in an enclosed space. Set up and run your generator in a well-ventilated area outside the home. Make sure it's out and away from your garage, doors, windows and vents. The carbon monoxide generated is deadly.
